X promoted a trending story on Thursday via its homepage with the headline: “Iran Strikes Tel Aviv with Heavy Missiles” one problem: the story was fake even worse: the headline + story was created by a new feature powered by X’s own AI chatbot, Grok mashable.com/article/elon...

Elon Musk's X pushed a fake headline about Iran attacking Israel. X's AI chatbot Grok made it up.mashable.com The AI-generated false headline was promoted by X in its official trending news section.

Concerning.

Looking into it

I refuse to have civilization end because Grok causes a nuclear exchange.

if it's any consolation, the people who make the decision to use nuclear missiles are smart enough to verify this before using them.

Let's hope that Trump doesn't change that.

Him using grok for the name pisses me majorly off.

The lengths I will go to to avoid looking like an Elon fan includes striking the term from my vocabulary

Fuck that he doesn't get to steal that. This motherfucker steals random words from scifi he doesn't understand. Doesn't make it his any more than naming SpaceX shit like Culture ships from Iain Banks novels.

It just makes him that much more annoying

My thought exactly.

I literally stood up and walked away after reading this. I can't even imagine having so little thought that you would think that it's okay to set that up. He's so goddamn dense it's a miracle he hasn't turned into a black hole

Grok can not grok

Realizing he fucked up yet again, Elon screams from his office as he drags on yet another joint, "Bring. Me! MY... KETAMINE!!!!"

Not great, Matt!

How many more stories like this will it take for the investor class to realize that AI is a sham both technically and as a thing that will be monetizable with an adequate ROI? I actively avoid this AI shit as much as possible and I'm never paying for copilot, Bard ,Gemini, from, etc..

The very existence of the investor class relies on them not realizing anything revelatory about their investments

Disabled copilot immediately. I use Snapchat significantly less since they jammed their shitty AI at the top of the chat list. Disregarded one of NZs biggest news outlets (Stuff) since they started using AI for articles. Will immediately block anyone with certain keywords in bio. etc Shit is toxic.

Also hilarious- it claimed that that's what happened on October 7th. And that's not even the craziest bit; it said that Iran attacked Israel in retaliation for Hamas having attacked Israel. This is what they get for letting an AI write the news.

They do claim that "X" is where news happens. So they made some news, I guess?

Is there a Neuralink chip that would allow him to feel shame?

My vote is for them to experiment. Try several chips, see if any help. What's the worst that can happen? His brain is already damaged beyond repair. Might as well try.

Well either it'd work or the installation procedure would turn him into a vegetable. So win/win, basically.

Sexually Suggestive

When they said AI would start WWIII, this is not what I had in mind

Kinda is though? Strong top 3 scenario

As I war game it, it's quite obviously a risk in the current disinformation marketplace

Grok is hallucinating

That's what *all* AI does. Imagine a hallucinating parrot.

They made Grok do the same amount of ketamine as Musk.

My source is that I made it the F@#& upyoutu.be Imagine a world, Raiden. Free of cancel culture.Where no one can call me out for my outlandish claims!from the funny Max0r video:https://youtu.be/TgmTsa3rFU0...

This is Grok basically

The written words of the story were created by Grok, but the story itself was created by a bunch of fake Twitter accounts hoping to get it trending.

Guy clearly does not know how to run a social media company.

I think you can safely remove 'social media' from your post and still be correct.

Flashback: www.businessinsider.com/musk-twitter...

AI is gonna kill us all.

I wonder how many megawatts of electricity are used so that grok can pull stuff out of it's digital ass

And he controls Starlink. There’s something very wrong with this situation.

This fucker needs stopped.

That nut will probably start WW3 with his stupid AI

TELL IT TO EARTH

Love the state of things

Elon got to Grok. Poor Grok, they started with relative sanity.

📌

Sounds like that chatbot will fit right in!

In fairness its still probably more reliable than Fox, CNN, MSNBC etc. It's lies are the result of incompetence, theirs have malice aforethought and institutional legitimacy.

Impossibly naive to believe there’s no malice or “institutional legitimacy” on Musk’s side

No, you dont understand what malice aforethought and institutional legitimacy is. Its the difference between Musk ranting about chemtrails making you trans or whatever and CNN/BBC/etc talking about "experts concern over WMDs" to midwife the Iraq War and putting it into official reports

Musk is a military contractor

Yes, but he doesnt have generations of gravitas to lend his bullshit any weight. Just wealth. If the BBC says something is fact, there are millions who will believe it unconditionally - Musk (and the Saudis etc) wanted to control Twitter because they wanted a slice of that power to create "reality"

Goalpost shifting. None of Musk's lies are innocent. He is a white supremacist and does not deserve the benefit of the doubt. He bragged about how Grok was designed to be able to be anti-woke and emit racial slurs. His lies are the result of malice and planning. His legitimacy is his wealth.
